'We cannot fathom how it plans to continue to remain competitive'
(FOX NEWS) -- The Washington Post Guild is "infuriated" about a looming workforce reduction at the newspaper owned by Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos, one of the world's richest people.
The Washington Post announced on Tuesday it will be offering "voluntary separation packages" to employees across all functions, eliminating 240 positions. The Post Guild, which has been advocating for Post employees since 1934, blasted the decision.
"We are infuriated about this decision and concerned for our dedicated, brilliant colleagues… [The] announcement comes after at least 38 people were laid off over the last year. Hard-working Post employees are going to lose their jobs because of a litany of poor business decisions at the top of our company," the Washington Post Guild wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, before taking a direct shot at Bezos.

I used to work for a newspaper.
In the early years times was good and the company making lots of money.
In later years all too often the stories we printed read more like propaganda pieces written by the likes of the 'Associated Press'.
In later years the company was actually losing money parts of the week and parts of the year . . . Circulation dropping and the management blaming it on the Internet and trying to get into the 'on line' markets. They actually ran an article pointing out how far too many of the American People simply didn't believe or trust them any more.
Apparently 'the powers that be' simply didn't read what they printed and they certainly did not contemplate the errors of their ways. I can well imagine them saying in the privacies of their offices 'stupid American people' . . .
Losing money . . . consolidating several newspapers and eventually they shut down our production facility and I retired.
Zim.
